A fun game for students to play in small groups to consolidate their understanding of verbs.
A Verbs Game for Active Learning
As teachers, we know our students love a dose of healthy competition. That’s why games can be such valuable learning tools, especially when it comes to traditionally ‘drier’ concepts like parts of speech!
This verb game is a hands‑on, classroom‑friendly card game designed to support explicit teaching of verbs. Students flip over verb cards and attempt to match each verb to a descriptive clue on their score sheet.
Inside the download, you will find:
- Instruction page
- 2 x game boards
- 30 x word cards
The resource can be downloaded as a full-colour, low-colour or black-and-white PDF.
